Move the applications that gain from the cloud We place each one by what it costs now and what it'll cost there
Damco looks at how each application is used and what it costs to run, moves the ones that gain in planned waves, and runs them after the move.

Stays putPlant scheduler, beside the machines it runs
Each department's load has its own shape The cloud pays where demand rises and falls, and less where it stays flat
Pay for the month-end peak only at month end.
Scale down every night and every weekend.
Stays put, beside the machines on the floor.
Rent the compute for the night run only.
Busy twice a year, so it moves as it is.
Grow for the holidays, then shrink back.
Four ways to move an application, and their monthly bills Servers sized for the peak cost the same at midnight as at noon
Stay where it is
Time to move · No moveRight when it runs steady and sits next to the machines.
Lift and shift
Time to move · WeeksThe fastest move, and the servers keep their peak size all day.
Replatform
Time to move · A few monthsManaged databases and scaling, with the code mostly unchanged.
Rebuild
Time to move · MonthsThe smallest bill, worth the build only when it changes often.
We run each application after the move Cost per order is on our monthly report, beside what we changed
